SUMMARY:Information is Useless Without Transformation: How to Rapidly Impact Workplace Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of the CMHA Mental Health Week May 2 – 8\, 2022\, CPHR Atlantic and CPHR Saskatchewan are proud to partner with Howatt HR Consulting to bring members this complimentary webinar.  \nThere is growing information that workplace mental health is becoming a more significant challenge (e.g.\, YOY increases in STD/LTD & WCB claims due to mental health). Knowing workers’ mental health is a growing concern is not enough. Assuming that simply putting in place programs and policies will be enough to impact is a common mistake. \nFor employers to positively impact workplace mental health\, they must first understand what psychosocial risk factors and hazards are creating the most considerable strain on the workers and leaders. Then\, discovering what protective factors the employer can facilitate using a Plan – Do – Check – Act (PDCA) approach to create the desired transformation (ie.\, reducing mental harm and promoting mental health). Transformation and impactful workplace mental health initiatives will drive worker engagement and productivity\, the decline in sick time\, and disability costs that contribute to having a secure and sustainable workforce. In 2020\, companies with the highest workforce treatment scores in Just Capital’s rankings outperformed the Russell 1000 by 4.7 percent. \nDr. Bill Howatt\, an international expert in workplace mental health\, will provide professionals tasked with facilitating workplace mental health a framework for taking information and creating actions that put the organization on the right track to transform workplace mental health. Five in five workers and leaders have mental health. How effective the employer and employees learn to promote and protect workplace mental health will determine how well a work culture becomes psychologically safe and healthy. There are no shortcuts. There are no magic fixes to workplace mental health. To create rapid workplace mental health transformation requires a commitment to continuous improvement\, collecting the correct data\, engaging workers\, measurement\, reporting\, and auditing. \nObjectives \n\n\n\n\n\nExplore critical considerations required to create a psychologically safe workplace.\nReview the link between risk factors\, hazards\, and protective factors.\nUnderstand why workplace mental health requires a Plan – Do – Check – Act Approach.\nDiscover how to leverage a rapid approach to workplace mental health. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitator \n \nDr. Bill Howatt  is known internationally and is one of Canada’s top experts in mental health issues in the workplace with over 30 years’ experience in mental health\, addiction\, and human resources consulting. Dr. Bill has published over 40 books such as The Globe Mail Best Seller: Cure for Loneliness and Stop Hiding and Start Living and over 400 articles. He is a regular contributor with Talent Canada\, WSPS CEO blog\, The Chronicle Herald and The Globe and Mail. \nDr. Bill has created the senate-approved Certificate in Psychological Safe Leader & Certified Management Essentials\, Pathway to Coping and Mental Fitness through the University of New Brunswick. Dr. Bill is on CSA OHS Standards Steering Committee and the Chair of CSA Standard Z1008: Management of Substance Related Impairment in the Workplace.

SUMMARY:Webinar: #GetReal for Mental Health Week: Preventing and Managing Burnout at Work
DESCRIPTION:May 5\, 2022 \n3:00pm-4:30pm NST \nLink to register: https://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/events/mental-health-week-2022/index-eng.aspx \nJob burnout is a pressing and ongoing concern at all levels of the federal public service. The risk of burnout at work is a growing concern for many public servants working from home due to the additional stressors associated with the ongoing pandemic. While personal lifestyle changes\, such as self-care and resilience-building can be helpful\, burnout prevention efforts in the workplace require interventions at the organizational level. \nThis timely event taking place during Mental Health Week (May 2-8) presents a panel discussion on how public servants can identify\, assess and reduce the risk of personal burnout and when supporting colleagues who may be struggling. Learn how to co-develop solutions with an empathic approach in order to develop intervention measures that will support wellbeing in the workplace and that address the organizational issues that can lead to burnout.

SUMMARY:Mastering Fact-Finding and Investigation (Halifax)
DESCRIPTION:There are three events in the labour relations series\, two in Halifax and the final one to be offered in St. John’s. This program gives LR Practitioners hands-on training on how to assemble the facts of a case without worsening the situation. \nSession Topic\nAccording to research conducted by Queen’s IRC\, today’s labour relations practitioners are spending an increasing amount of time — up to 25 percent of their efforts — conducting formal and informal investigations of workplace complaints. The complaints may relate to harassment\, conflicts of interest\, discrimination\, whistle blowing\, or many other difficult types of cases\, and are partly a response to tougher human rights and occupational health and safety laws. But research also shows that many HR managers and LR practitioners\, including union representatives\, feel they are inadequately prepared for the rigours of investigating complaints. This program gives LR Practitioners hands-on training on how to assemble the facts of a case without worsening the situation. \nPROGRAM DETAILS\nLearn how to plan the investigation\, conduct interviews\, and properly weigh the evidence. Receive on-the-spot coaching to ensure the skills you develop can be immediately and effectively applied back on the job. \na) Selecting the Right Path \nWhich fact-finding process is best? Your session leaders will discuss the differences between a formal investigation and an informal workplace assessment. \nA formal investigation is held to comply with the employer’s responsibilities under human rights or other legislation.\nA workplace assessment is a non-blaming process that offers generic results and recommendations that may be shared with staff.\nYou’ll be guided through the four stages of the fact-finding process. Learn how to pre-screen complaints and ensure you select the correct process and terms of reference for the issue. Review the legal framework and key procedural aspects and principles. \nUltimately\, the investigation process you’ll follow will depend on several factors: \nWhat are the dynamics of conflict\, in terms of interests and relationships?\nWhat are the applicable policies?\nWhat is the desired outcome: Deterrence or confidentiality? Compliance with statutory obligations? Workplace restoration? \nb) Preparing the Plan \nAn investigation encompasses four stages: pre-investigation screening\, planning the investigation\, interviewing\, and preparing the interview report. Learn the key elements to preparing a plan: \nListing and numbering the important questions to be answered\nIdentifying the right people to be interviewed\nIdentifying the records to be examined and the person from whom they should be obtained\nYou’ll be guided through this process to learn how to identify witnesses and relevant documentation\, and how to craft essential questions. \nc) The Art and Science of Interviewing \nWhat are the key issues that need to be considered when staging an interview? Using a case study based on an actual situation as well as tips on empathetic listening\, you will apply your learning and use your skills to interview witnesses and handle difficult behaviours\, and be coached along the way. You’ll also take away a list of sample questions to get you started. \nLearn how to: \nPrepare for the interview\, including how to build the conditions for the best outcomes and how to ensure fairness\nOpen the interview and set the context\nCraft the right questions\, based on the five W’s: who\, what\, where\, when\, why\nDeal with reluctant\, uncooperative\, or emotional witnesses\nSee through smokescreens and issues unrelated to the complaint at hand\nConclude the interview on the right note \nd) Gathering and Documenting Evidence \nDrawing on templates and structured formats\, you will practice compiling evidence to support your investigative findings. Experienced leaders will walk you through evidentiary do’s and don’s. You will also learn how to identify useful evidence based on its relevance\, credibility\, and admissibility in legal proceedings. \ne) Report Your Findings \nWhat are the essential components of an investigative report? How do you assess and compile evidence? Work with your learning team to create a written summary of your findings and analysis\, including the terms of reference\, process followed\, summary of evidence\, findings in dispute and not in dispute\, and analysis. \nf) Navigating Through the Common Pitfalls \nSession leaders will help you recognize the most common barriers to an effective fact-finding exercise. \nThe possible pitfalls are many\, including: \nInstitutional delay\nDifficult witnesses\nInvolvement of lawyers\nLack of direct access to witnesses\nInvestigator bias\nBy the end of this module\, you will have several organizational strategies that can be deployed to ensure consistent results. \ng) Post-Investigation Considerations \nLearn how to follow through after an investigation\, from notifying parties to addressing ongoing workplace issues. \nQuestions?
